Valuations

We begin with a thorough appraisal of your property and priorities and then make an accurate pricing recommendation based on our years of experience. We can call upon first-hand knowledge of similar property transactions and independent market intelligence to place your property onto the market at the right pricing level to get you the result you want. We have a large database of buyers who are ready and able to proceed while we always prefer quality rather than quantity: three serious buyers are preferable to a dozen casual viewers.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a European Union initiative as part of the drive to improve energy efficiency across the EU member countries. Since 2009 all buildings in the UK that are constructed, sold or offered for rent need an EPC.

An EPC is required whenever a property is marketed

The EPC is valid for 10 years

This applies to all sellers hoping to sell their property and to landlords offering a property for rent.

EPCs must be produced by a registered Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). We can provide our own in-house DEA who works closely with Barbets to provide the best service at very affordable rates.

Our Website

We have recently given our well established website an overhaul. We believe that this latest incarnation allows us to present your home in the best light possible. Our website is both intuitive and reactive to the device that someone is using to search for property, be it a desktop computer, tablet or mobile device. From enhanced presentation to increased Search optimisation we want your home to stand out from the crowd. Barbets.co.uk will be the first place where you can see all our properties as they are added throughout the day - with floor plans, location maps, a gallery of photographs and a downloadable pdf brochure.
